Art, Fun, & Nonsense.
Nature Concert Hall is an interactive, educational multi-media event on nature and sustainable development held each year in a different location in Latvia. Every year is curated with a particular species as its “mascot” and Didzis Jaunzems Architecture was asked to base this year’s pavilion on the earthworm.
The architects responded with a structure designed to tell the story of the earthworm and its underground world. Three openings cut into the pavilion imitate worm-holes, while the sinuous patterning on the dark background reflects the creatures in their subterranean habitat.

“After the event there are absolutely no marks of the event that happened at the site day before – a completely empty and clean floodplain is left, contrary to the garbage-covered fields that are left after any other traditional festival,” added the architect.
The various elements of science, visual art, music, and dramaturgy included in the festival work holistically to tell the story of the earthworm in nature, ultimately aiming to not only give visitors new knowledge about nature, but to also motivate them to take action for environmental protection.

Seether – Saviours. This one goes out to all the evangelical asshole christians.
You think you know what this world is about
But nothing grows in the desert when you covet the drought
And you believe everything is alright
It’s plain to see you’re pretending now with all of your might
And I hope you wither out
Fuck you and your fake adoration
Hooray for the saviours who prey on the prayers
And drink of the well as they give fuel to the fire
Your selfish behaviour – a taste that you savour
You worship yourselves, you’re all just bigots and liars
You kick and scream when you’re being ignored
But no-one heeds aberration when the act is a chore
And I believe we have been here before
It’s plain to see you are everything I hated you for
And I hope you wither out
Fuck you – you’re a poor imitation
Hooray for the saviours who prey on the prayers
And drink of the well as they give fuel to the fire
Your selfish behaviour – a taste that you savour
You worship yourselves, you’re all just bigots and liars
I hope you wither out
Fuck you – you’re a poor imitation
Hooray for the saviours who prey on the prayers
And drink of the well as they give fuel to the fire
Your selfish behaviour – a taste that you savour
You worship yourselves, you’re all just bigots and liars
Hooray for the saviours who prey on the prayers
And drink of the well as they give fuel to the fire
Your selfish behaviour – a taste that you savour
You worship yourselves, you’re all just bigots and liars.
Seether – Black Honey, Thrice cover. Thrice video here.
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees ‘cause I …
I want honey on my table
But I never get it right … no I never get it right
I keep swinging my hand through in swarm of bees
I can’t understand why they’re stinging me
But I’ll do what I want, I’ll do it what I please
I’ll do it again till I got what I need
I’ll rip and smash through the hornet’s nest
Don’t they understand I deserve the best
And I’ll do what I want, I’ll do it what I please
I’ll do it again till I got what I need
I tried to stick this pin through a butterfly ‘cause I …
I like all the pretty colors
But it just fell apart so I flung it in the fire to burn with all the others
And this time I’ll get it right … yeah this time I’ll get it right
It’s gonna be this time I’ll get it right …
Oh God let it be this time I get it right
So I’m cutting that branch off the cherry tree
I’m singing this will be my victory then I …
I see them coming after me
And they’re following me across the sea
And now they’re stinging my friends and my family and I…
I don’t know why this is happening
But I’ll do what I want, I’ll do it what I please
I’ll do it again till I got what I need

Leader – This Is Why We Bleed.
[Verse 1]
As you sit and make your list
Think about the years you’ve missed
As the tear falls from your eye
Know the reason that you cry (cry)
The scar burns deep inside
[Chorus]
This is why we bleed, this is why we scream
But we won’t run away
This is why we know, that we must go
So we can fight today
You can make me bleed, you can make me scream
But i won’t run away
This is how i know that i must go
So i can fight today
[Verse 2]
Open your eyes to the world unknown
Fighting the lies of the dark alone
But you’re still bleeding
And it’s still feeding
Don’t fight the dark alone
[Chorus]
This is why we bleed, this is why we scream
But we won’t run away
This is why we know, that we must go
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/leader/this-is-why-we-bleed-single/this-is-why-we-bleed.html]
So we can fight today
You can make me bleed, you can make me scream
But i won’t run away
This is how i know that i must go
So i can fight today
[Bridge]
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear, me now?
(but we won’t run away)
[Chorus]
This is why we bleed, this is why we scream
But we won’t run away
This is why we know, that we must go
So we can fight today
You can make me bleed, you can make me scream
But i won’t run away
This is how i know that i must go
So i can fight today
[Outro]
This is why we bleed, this is why we scream
(don’t fight the dark alone)
This is why we know, that we must go
So we can fight today
You can make me bleed, you can make me scream
(don’t fight the dark alone)
This is how i know, that i must go
So i can fight today
Rick Wiles. Again. And Again. The upset this time? The above video.
End Times broadcaster Rick Wiles warned that a recent “Saturday Night Live” skit in which three R&B singers begged Barack Obama to come back and be president again was really deep state propaganda designed to prepare Americans for the coming left-wing revolution.
Wiles and his co-hosts were aghast that SNL would make light of something as serious as “throwing out the Constitution” and “insurrection.”
“They’re prepping the public for the revolution,” Wiles said. “We’re going to topple Donald Trump, we’re going to bring back Barack Obama, we’re going to throw out the Constitution and we’re going to start a new country.”
“It confirms what I said a year ago,” he added. “Barack Obama will run the country as a president in exile. All of this ‘Resist Trump’ garbage is all being directed by Barack Hussein Obama.”
No, Mr. Wiles, this does not confirm anything you said, and it certainly does not confirm your moronic conspiracy theories. It’s a skit which represents a whole hell of a lot of wishful thinking going on, because of the twin disasters of the Tiny Tyrant and the grand ol’ party of sociopaths. People are tired, scared, sinking into poverty, and half dead of embarrassment. And you’re all aghast that people long for the return of a competent and scandal-free administration? That people long for a president who is actually intelligent, thoughtful, and capable of empathy? That people are desperate for a leader who is capable of diplomacy and has better things to do than to spew shit and manufacture vendettas via Twitter?
Pulling off a revolution is not so easy; history would be your friend there. Perhaps you should go and read. It’s always of interest to me, given how much you christian conservatives always have your nose up the ass of the ‘founding father’s’ corpses, that you conveniently manage to forget it was a revolution which founded all you claim to love. There’s a quick lesson there – revolutions happen when people simply cannot tolerate the existing situation anymore, they don’t happen for no reason at all.
The Resistance is not garbage. It’s necessary. And once again, not being directed by Pres. Obama. Seriously, if it was, I want my personally signed memo, dammit!

Behold the new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude:
“Good luck, you’re on your own!”
Blessed are the fornicates
May we bend down to be their whores
Blessed are the rich
May we labor, deliver them more
Blessed are the envious
Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
Blessed are the gluttonous
May they feast us to famine and war
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed
Behold the new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude:
“Good luck!”
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous, what of the charitable?
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?
Doomed are the poor
Doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek
Doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death
And the word is now without light
The new beatitude:
(Fuck!)
“Fuck the doomed
You’re on your own!”
